Summary: A good Documentary
Review: HBO did a great job with this! I've only seen it once, a long time ago, but I can't wait to get the DVD! This documentary was awesome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible personal look at the motivations of a killer
Review: I first picked up this title when I was browsing through the "new movie" section at blockbuster about a year ago. I was looking for a mafia-type movie and I ended up leaving the video place pleasantly suprised. The title gives an in-depth look into the life or Richard Kuklinski, a family man on one side, and heartless mafioso on the other. Kuklinski is featured almost the whole time in the documentary; only a few other people (like the agent that brought him down) are interviewed. He gives the viewers a sense of motivation for why he went into a life of crime, which stemmed from an abusive, heartless and non-loving family. He also goes into his different methods of murder (poison was his favorite; non-messy and hard to trace). We also see a side of him in which he regrets a handful of the murders. It really moved me when he talked about how he gave one man an hour to pray before he killed him and how he regrets going through with it. If you want a documentary that will move you and inform you at the same time, The Iceman is what you should be watching tonight.

Summary: Chilling but true story!
Review: I first saw the interview with Mr. Kuklinski on HBO in 1992 and for anyone looking for how a "hitman" really goes about his business-this is it! His casual explanation after admitting killing approximately 100 people is truly scary ("it was due to business"). Buy this dvd!

Summary: The *TRUE* mob stories.
Review: I saw this on HBO & recorded it. Time to throw out the tape, cause I just pre-ordered this fabulous DVD!

I have no idea why I would want this forever on a DVD, because I got chills up my spine during each story. As you watch this man speak about his "past", you see he just doesn't think it's wrong or he was wrong with what he did. In a way, maybe he's right.

It scares you to think there's more of "him" out there like this, but then you remember, "Oh yeah, I pay all my debts! Whew, I'm okay!"

A definite buy for any mob fan out there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A trip into the mind of a man who killed for a living.
Review: Quite interesting documentary about Richard Kuklinski, who whacked people for the Gambino Crime family and killed anyone who could testify against him & also set up his own "kill for money" operation. Although I was sympathetic to his "wanting to take care of his family", but truly the guy was sick & should have been given the death penalty.

The stories of him doing contract hits are really interesting & it was even funny to know that one of his accomplices (who he later killed) used a "Mr. Softee" Ice Cream truck while going out on contract hits.

It's a good documentary although a bit shocking.
I recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaken
Review: There are moments in this video that are truly bone chilling.
One of them being when the doctor questions Mr. Kuklinski about weather or not some people he encountered in Georgia really deserved to die.By the end of his reply,I felt like the temprature in my livingroom had dropped below freezing.
And I am not someone who is easily shaken. B
